[QUOTE="Av Gorritt, post: 183509, member: 2303"] We have a double row of high tension lines run across our place , but I am not aware of any health risk . Safety definitely yes . Quite a few years back there was a machine with a long jib travelling under them about 100 yards away from the road and got a flashover from them . Driver was OK until he jumped out of the cab whilst still holding on to the machine - fried him , and his banksman , who tried to rescue him got his feet and hands frazzled . If we ever park anything with a jib near them we get a call from the Electricity authority asking us to move it. Apart from that , they buzz or crackle a bit from the wires or insulators in wet weather . They don't really cause us trouble otherwise as the land they pass over is mostly just "room outside " rather than productive land . On the plus side they pay a bit of rent so it's not all bad !.
